Myocyte A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell)[1] is the type of cell found in muscle tissue. Myocytes are long, tubular cells that develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis.[2] There are various specialized forms of myocytes: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells, with various properties. The striated cells of cardiac and skeletal muscles are referred to as muscle fibers. Cardiomyocytes are the muscle fibres that form the chambers of the heart, and have a single central nucleus.

What Is a Sustained Contraction Called? A sustained contraction is called muscle tetanus. Muscles are stimulated to contract by signals from motor neurons connected to the central nervous system. Muscle tetanus occurs when the muscle receives a high frequency of stimulation.

- 1 Cardiac muscle fibers contract via excitation-contraction coupling, using a mechanism unique to cardiac muscle called calcium-induced calcium release.  Excitation-contraction coupling describes the process of converting an electrical stimulus (action potential) into a mechanical response (muscle contraction).

- This involves an explosion of electrical activity, where the nerve and muscle cells resting membrane potential changes. In nerve and muscle cells the membranes are electrically excitable, which means they can change their membrane potential, and this is the basis of the nerve impulse. The sodium and potassium channels in these cells are voltage-gated, which means that they can open and close depending on the voltage across the membrane.

Myocyte A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue.Myocytes are long, tubular cells that develop from myoblasts to form muscles in a process known as myogenesis.his contraction of the myocyte is triggered by the action potential over the cell membrane of the myocyte. The action potential uses transverse tubules to get from the surface to the interior of the myocyte, which is continuous within the cell membrane.

Excitation-Contraction Coupling We have seen that calcium ions regulate whether or not contraction can occur. Thus, what is needed is a way to link muscle excitation (the depolarization of the action potential) to Ca ++ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.This link is known as excitation-contraction coupling.The T-tubules are essential structures for excitation-contraction coupling. T-tubules are tube-shaped invaginations of the sarcolemma (skeletal muscle plasma membrane) that penetrate throughout the muscle fiber (red in Figure 16-73A).his conformational change is transmitted to the foot of the SR Ca ++ channel, causing it to open, and allowing Ca ++ release. Note that this direct mechanical interaction between the T-tubule voltage sensor and the SR Ca ++ channel is specific for excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle.

2.1 INTRODUCTION All cells exhibit a voltage difference across the cell membrane. Nerve cells and muscle cells are excitable. Their cell membrane can produce electrochemical impulses and conduct them along the membrane. In muscle cells, this electric phenomenon is also associated with the contraction of the cell.In other cells, such as gland cells and ciliated cells, it is believed that the membrane voltage is important to the execution of cell function.The origin of the membrane voltage is the same in nerve cells as in muscle cells. In both cell types, the membrane generates an impulse as a consequence of excitation.This impulse propagates in both cell types in the same manner. What follows is a short introduction to the anatomy and physiology of nerve cells.he origin of the membrane voltage is the same in nerve cells as in muscle cells.

What Causes Muscle Deterioration? Muscle cell contraction begins when an excitatory neurotransmitter is released from the motor neuron in the cell. The neurotransmitter causes an action potential to propagate through the muscle cells, and contraction occurs.
